Thinks Il o Game Of Bluff.

TORONTO, January 27.-The Mail to-day
says: ut is unfortunate for Canadian in
terests that tho general elections should be
in progress when our American neighbo1s
are lsgislating against Us. The tone OF the
bellicose speeches delivered in tho United
States Senate the other day need not be
taken seriously. Nevertheless, it is abun-
dainty evident from tho tone OF the better
class OF American journals that our neigh
bors haue adopted q spirited foreign pol
icy. In plain English, that they mean to
steal our fish and punish US ii we attempt
to prevent them. We suffer from American
prejudice against England, and from En-.
gland's unwillingness and inability to make
our cause her own. The capital
consideration with Lord Salisbury
will not be so much the justice Of our
own case as the necessity for maintaining
cordial relations with the United States.
The power to prevent intercourse, which is
to be vested in the president by the Ed.
munds and Belmont bills, is to prevent our
ships from entering American ports, and t.,
stop our railroad cars and locomotives
at the international boundary line.
Americans themselves term it q bluff. By
blufine, our neighbors have in the past,
managed to cheat US out of whole sea.
boards and territories. Come what may,
this time we trust the Canadian authorities
will press for something approaching q per.
manent solution of the question, 50 that
We may know where We stand"
